    The books with the bit about the three eyed son of palpatine [they even say Palpatine had a third eye on the back of his head!] and his son are all "cannon" right? They're all untrue, because then there'd be a grandson of Palptaine living in the forests of Yavin during the NJO thats about thirty.

    I asked if it were cannon or not. They have Han and Leia's wedding for crying IN loud! Well, it could be true... but then Mothma's assembly of superheroes campaign would be false... but they're all mentioned in the EGtC

    Well, according to the Glove of Darth Vader series, a lot is different. I mean, have we ever heard from that Jedi Prince again? Has he ever been mentioned, even though he should have been a million times? I dunno...

    GODV series have not been marked infinities or outside the timeline... so unfortunately, yes, they are canon.

    Actually only son of palpatine was a mutant and a eye on the back of his head.

    It never said palpatined did.

    Actually WOTC has been refrencing Prophets of the darkside and other things as of late, yet not only them. Bantam kids' novels refrenced them if you know where to look. As did KJA in JAT if you know where to look. As does del rey in there Essential Guides of the Star Wars universe series.

    So yes they are as valid a part of continuity as TTT is.

    I've been wanting to ask somone about this. In the Glove of Darth vader series, Han and Leia's wedding was on Yavin IV I believe. In Courtship of Leia, they were married on Coruscant. I may be wrong about the locations, but I know that they were not the same. Can anyone tell me how they can both be true?

    We could ask an author if they got any special instructions about referring to these books.

    Both are true.

    One note, you don't actually see them get married in godv, only walking to the the stage. Something could have interupted it.

    Or there was an annullment. We do see that leia is leia organa solo in the Dark Forces books.

    Though there is one thing Wolverton ignored continuity when he should have done better. Or we blame the editors for not correcting him right.

    But beyond that the books have been refrenced in many places.

    There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for the screw up in GODV. Han and Leia, walking down the aisle (or whatever) suddenly fell over and starting twitching at the stupidity of the entire plot. They woke up, amnesia stuck, and they forgot about the marriage until COPL.

    Depending on how long COPL takes place after CoPL, Han and Leia could be renewing their wedding vows.

    Maybe they were married twice because each wanted to be married of a preist of their own religion.

    Han went to sunday school as a child by the way. See issue 7 of the marvel comics.

    Luke wouldn't exist when he was a child actually.

    We don't know what he was practicing exactly, but we do know that sundays exist in the star wars universe. But what the religion was like, not much is known.

    I figured out what happened! GODF series was a children's series, right? So when Leia stepped up to the alter to give her vows, Han whispered some lude sexual remark to her about the honey moon and she called the wedding off. They of course could'nt say this in the book because it was written for children.
